There is no returning to the masses - once your forays into theory have borne you far enough away from them that you can perceive them and the benefits of being among them. The only return is through the process of disillusionment; one must cease to care about motivating the masses to be reunited with them.

Whom one is speaking to - or which aspect of their character - fundamentally determines the meaning and consequences of an exhortation. 'Indulge Your Desires' comes across very differently on a billboard advertising SUVs than it does spray-painted across the broken windows of an SUV dealer. It follows that what you say is not nearly as important as how and when you say it.
